Garbage - Waiting for God lyrics
[Garbage - Waiting for God lyrics]
Waiting for God to show up
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Can't seem to make sense
Of all of this madness
Waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Look what they did to her boy
And nobody's blinking an eye
She's choking on sadness with
No hope for justice
Just look what they did to her boy
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Did she get lost in the rains?
Or was there a lockdown at school?
Maybe the ice cracked and
Swallowed the house up
Or did they get caught in the fires?
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
All this talk of faith
The power of all our prayers
Meanwhile, kids playin' video games
They fall, but they don't get up
Who have we become? What do we do now?
The waving of our flags
And tears won't bring them back
Waiting for God to show up
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Smiling at fireworks that light
All our skies up
While black boys get shot in the back
Were they caught riding their bike?
Or guilty of walking alone?
I can't seem to make sense
Of all of this madness just waiting for God
Keep waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Oh God, who art in heaven
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
On and on) who art in heaven, come
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
On and on)
Stand with us, may your will be done
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
On Earth as it is in heaven
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Can't seem to make sense
Of all of this madness
Waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Look what they did to her boy
And nobody's blinking an eye
She's choking on sadness with
No hope for justice
Just look what they did to her boy
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Did she get lost in the rains?
Or was there a lockdown at school?
Maybe the ice cracked and
Swallowed the house up
Or did they get caught in the fires?
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
All this talk of faith
The power of all our prayers
Meanwhile, kids playin' video games
They fall, but they don't get up
Who have we become? What do we do now?
The waving of our flags
And tears won't bring them back
Waiting for God to show up
We're keeping our fingers crossed
Smiling at fireworks that light
All our skies up
While black boys get shot in the back
Were they caught riding their bike?
Or guilty of walking alone?
I can't seem to make sense
Of all of this madness just waiting for God
Keep waiting for God to show up
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
Oh God, who art in heaven
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
On and on) who art in heaven, come
(It goes on and on, on and on, on and on
On and on)
Stand with us, may your will be done
(On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on)
On Earth as it is in heaven
